Thoughts on Today's Verse...

I love the simple truth that Jesus taught his first disciples. Do you want to be recognized as a part of Jesus' family? Obey his Father's word and live his Father's will! When you do, Jesus gladly claims you as part of his family and holds you up as an example for others to follow!

My Prayer...

Bless me today, please, dear Heavenly Father. I want to live with clarity and see the opportunities you have placed in my life to follow you obediently and honor your will. However, dear Father, I don't want this clarity to be a fleeting thing. Just as I want to be a part of your family permanently and eternally, I want to obey and honor you with my life consistently. Help me be more aware of the opportunities you place in my daily path to do just that! In Jesus' name, I ask this. Amen.
